Louisiana: Mass workshop for priests

I picked this up from Vultus Christi:

News from the Diocese of Shreveport, Louisiana

The pursuit of the two forms of the Roman Liturgy

“What earlier generations held as sacred, remains sacred and great for us too, and it cannot be all of a sudden entirely forbidden or even considered harmful. It behooves all of us to preserve the riches which have developed in the Church’s faith and prayer, and to give them their proper place.”
(Pope Benedict XVI, Letter to Bishops, 7 July 2007)

Priests Formed by the Liturgy

In a humble effort to deepen priestly devotion to the Sacred Liturgy, you as a priest of the region are invited to be formed by the liturgy in an environment of prayer, study, and warm hospitality. During these series of days, we hope to inaugurate locally what is found in Presbyterium Ordinis #5: “Let priests take care so to foster a knowledge of and facility in the liturgy, that by their own liturgical ministry Christian communities entrusted to their care may ever more perfectly give praise to God, the Father, and Son, and Holy Spirit.”

Rev. Msgr. Andrew Wadsworth

    Awesome. If only these kinds of workshops, with their appropriate roles of course, were being offered to the Laity who want to go to Latin masses or altar serve.

    Msgr. Wadsworth is absolutely first class and the real deal.

    He gave a magnificent keynote address at our archdiocesan seminar on music and the liturgy last year. He was very tactful but didn’t give an inch to the ‘happy clappy crowd’. Very best moment: a somewhat whiny member of the aforesaid crowd stood up during the question period and said, “we’re a poor parish, we can’t afford an organ, we can’t do any better than keyboards and electric guitars, blah blah.” The Monsignor heard him out patiently, then looked square at the crowd and announced, “The only instrument you need is right here.” and patted his chest. Pointed out that anybody can sing chant. And of course Jeffrey Tucker followed on with a splendid breakout session proving that yes, anybody can sing chant.
